I received my NECA TMNT and Foot sets yesterday. They look fantastic in person!

Well, I am so glad I will be able to enjoy them wherever a computer, tablet, or phone is at. Toyark has some great pictures of these, now I will never have to actually own these awesome convention exclusive NECA figures.

I will wait, who knows maybe we will get these figures boot legged like the other Neca turtles. ![]() Or maybe somehow they will be released into stores. Yeah, right.

Even though I own the sets I can't say that they are essential. To me the value comes solely in the presentation. I love the arcade games so much that this set struck that nostalgia chord hard and fast. I don't plan on opening them because I feel the pixelated paint jobs do not work outside of that context and wouldn't look right posed next to figures/vehicles from other lines.
Although if these sculpts are released with 'toon accurate paint jobs then I can see those sliding into must-have territory easily.

There is a good amount of the SDCC set over at Tao Bao.
Dunno if those are factory leaks or not. |

while i do agree with you that there are scalper prices for these but if they are anything like the black and white sets the extra 100 will be nothing compared to what they will soar to.
if you were lucky enough to go to the SDCC to get them, great. i didnt mind paying now what it cost to own them then paying double or triple in 2 yrs to get them |

Of the few sets sold from China not using stock images, I have not seen any with a SDCC sticker on the bottom right corner.

No sticker is a good sign. It's a set that remained behind as remainder stock.
The stickers got added upon arrival in US for SDCC as I am lead to believe. Not all sets were shipped over and the sets are NOT as rare as you might think. |

I have to be honest, when I finally saw these in person I was pretty underwhelmed. I love NECA and my Mirage turtles are my absolute prized possession. Up close, I just didn't get the same feeling. I even had other 8-bit figures that I loved, but these don't really feel like I'm looking at a video game. Maybe the arcade graphics are too advanced for this concept? LOL I don't know. The pixels are too sparse and symmetrical. The turtle heads aren't pixelated at all and don't really match with the bodies in my opinion. Add to that I don't have a great way to implement them into my display, and I put them up on eBay and am prepared to take a huge hit because I paid a ridiculous amount to preorder way too early hahaha. Oh well, lucky for some other turtle fan. Just my four cents. Feels good to have a dissenting opinion for once.

Does the price seem to good to be true? Does it cost less than or close to retail? If yes to both of these stay away

The original price was $100 per box-set. So it's a bit dodgy that they are that cheap from a second marked seller, especially when you had to be in person to pick the sets up at SDCC since there was no after con sale.
